Here we are, almost at the end of the first season. We have one last path to thread on, and it's that of one of the greatest names in Roman history: Julius Caesar.
His name and his deeds have traversed the centuries intact, and he also picked up more legends and myths that we can count.
He's been hailed as a destroyer, for the Roman Republic breathed its last because of him, but also as a creator, for the Roman Empire would have never seen the light, had it not been for his actions.
But what was Caesar: a savior or a destroyer? It's now your turn to answer!

We're getting closer to the finish line for this deep dive into the Roman history of the monarchy and the Republic.
Things are getting chaotic; the dividing lines between patricians and plebeians are getting more and more blurred, and champions of the plebs like the Gracchi brothers start popping up everywhere.
Rome is on the brink of chaos, and civil war is soon to follow. In a society which still hadn't recouped its losses after Hannibal, Marius and Sulla's proscription lists mowed down even more Romans, trying to distinguish friends from foes.
No corner of the Republic is safe. Will someone step up to save Rome?
